Ill work on it more later, its time to just drive it for a while. I want to get a cowl hood, a bed cover & start doing real body work someday, but at least its not green anymore!

That hood scoop is cool and the truck isn't bad looking at all!!

Do you have any closeups of the hood scoop install?

corn · 07-15-2009, 10:11 PM

No, not really but I could take a couple for you. I just cut the hole & mounted it with brackets to the inside braces. If I could figure out a decent way to seal it up, Id think about leaving it on there.

You seriously need to leave that hood on there as is!!!

What about what the T/A's used to seal the hood? Gotta be some kind of foam or rubber that would seal it up out there somewhere.

what, no flames?! LOL

it does look good in flat black. the scoop just adds to the look.

ya know what it needs now? a pair of black leather power buckets.

I think Ill save the flames for after I get bored with it this way. It will be like a new one again that way. Find me some S10 truck leather power buckets & Ill put them in!

My Trans Am has a perimeter rubber seal around the edge. If yours still has that you could use some kind of sealent to attach it to the hood.

If you get around to it you could take some pics of it.

Same here! Leather blazer buckets are like factory tow hooks to the S-10 world.

My factory buckets are pretty uncomfortable, it could be because they're old, but I'm getting pretty "sick" of them.

Leather TRUCK buckets are even harder to find than BLAZER buckets are!

Blazer seats dont fold, at least 4 door blazer seats anyway. Brackets are the same.
